    Xbox One Controller drifting


    I was given an Xbox One controller as a Christmas gift last year. It was purchased on Dec 19 from Target, I was told by Xbox Customer service I needed to contact the retailer that it was purchased from. I just found out from the retailer that the controller
    likely has a 90 day warranty from the retailer since it is opened. Why does a replacement controller have a 90 day warranty? This controller drifts forward on the left stick which I see is a little bit of a problem with these. I have 4 Xbox 360 controllers
    and none of these do it one of which is from a 360 Launch console and the other is from a Halo 3 Console and a ODST controller. I cannot believe this controller is already doing this and it less than 12 months old

    :)

    my center point keeps shifting up when scoping in also when just running. sigle player and multiplay

    Hey there.

    Not quite understanding what you mean by centerpoint. Is the controller drifting up? For steps on drifting controllers, check out our

    Xbox One Controller Troubleshooter    . Unfortunately for drifting issues, the controller would need to be repaired or replaced depending on your warranty status.

    I have the same issue, but I'm not sure if it's software or hardware, I notice it most in madden 15 and the netflix app

    controller drift

    That is strange. I've only ever had stick drift on my old 360 controllers. I don't know if the standard Xbox one controllers have it, but the Xbox Elite controller sticks can be adjusted to have dead zones to avoid drift. Check in the Xbox Accessories
    app if you can adjust it for normal controllers.
    Have my elite controller set up and still drifts. Can't do standard controller. Did notice they drift worse on any COD.

    Xbox series X controller keeps drifting up

    I just got a Xbox controller for Christmas. And as soon as I connected it to my Xbox it had drift on the right joystick. I opened the controller right from the box and didn’t get any dust of anything like that near it but still it drifts. I wanted a new Xbox controller because my old controller had drift. Crazy how out of the box it already has drift.
